Submitting your bird records from Lesvos

I collect as many records as I can each year to produce the annual reports.

Please send submit your records as soon as you can, but no later than 5 January of the follow year of your sightings (e.g. by 5 January 2015 to be included in Lesvos Birds 2014)

You can submit records in several ways.

LESVOS BIRDING LOGBOOKS

I run two logbooks in Skala Kallonis (Hotel Pasiphae and Dionysos taverna) for you share your bird news when on the island, and for you to find out what others have seen. I myself add as much as I can from what others have passed on to me in each of these logs each date.

Include date, location, species name(s), number of birds and any additional information (which may help others locate the bird, e.g. flyover (direction), feeding with other species, etc).

Please include your FULL NAME and your EMAIL address (at least once) so I can contact you if I have any queries and can credit your in the annual report for the more interesting records.

Other logs
There are other logs at other hotels but I don’t get to see those so I don’t know what is in them! If you see anything of note you think is known about, then please share it in the main logs or by informing me direct (see below). The records from these other logs do not make it in to the annual reports.

email

You can email me your sightings. I have a standard Excel spreadsheet which I ask people to use to save me having to input records manually – download it here.

Please send me your records as soon as you can, but no later than 5 January of the follow year of your sightings (e.g. by 5 January 2015 to be included in Lesvos Birds 2014)

ONLINE – OBSERVADO and ORNITHOTOPOS

You can upload your sightings to Observado or Birdtrack. Records are sent to me at the end of the year for the annual report which is published in early March.

Please ensure you enter all your records from your visit are entered online by 31 December to ensure they get in to the annual report which I publish in early March each year (i.e. Lesvos Birds 2015 will be published in March 2016) – thanks!
